Limited Slip Differential (LSD) (if equipped)
Limited Slip Differential (LSD) refers to a system equipped with a mechanism that controls the differential functions of the wheels in the Rear Differential. The Limited Slip Differential helps improve handling performance when circling.Never run wheels with one of them lifted by the jack. It is extremely dangerous for a vehicle equipped with Limited Slip Differential.Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of LSD when replacing Rear Differential (for LSD) Oil.
For vehicles equipped with the LSD, internal friction sound may be heard when cornering. These conditions are normal and indicate that LSD is functioning properly. If the internal friction sound gradually increases, we recommend that the Rear Differential (for LSD) oil be changed by an authorised Kia dealer.
